I'm getting ready to dive into my 67 Camaro front end after a long hiadeous of taking a back seat to life!!
I already have new hotchkis springs, sway bars front and rear, getting ready to order the hotckis rear 3" lowering springs.
I am on a budget build here, but have an idea of what I want to do. Where is a good place to get a rebuild kit? I was looking at P-S-T polygraphite standard front end kit, but wanted to ask if any other places are good or better. I don't think I need the super due to the new control arms, sway bar, etc. that already have new bushings.


For the front, haven't made my mind up on which upper control arms I want to go with yet tho. any suggestions on a good bang for buck??
Thought about going with the SC&C AFX kit, but that's gonna kill my budget for other things!!

Lemme know, thanks!!

support a local small business and buy all Moog replacement parts locally.

look at the SC&C stage 2+ kit. Easier on the budget and almost as good as the AFX spindle.

Looked at that, but going that route, I'm still going to have to buy the brackets and have my stock spindles machined for my C5 brake kit. After adding that expense, the AFX spindles will end up not being that much more, probably 200 bucks??

If you're buying the springs and sways, our arms will work perfectly, as the packages were all designed together.

Already got the front BB 2" Springs, and sway bar!! Actually, might order the rear sway bar, rear spring kit, and do the rear before what I decide on the front. I did look at your UCA's tho!!
